Stony Brook women’s soccer fought back from a second-half deficit to knock off Campbell, 2-1 on Sept. 29 at Eakes Athletics Complex in Buies Creek, N.C. Luciana Setteducate found the equalizer in the 50th minute and Linn Beck provided the game-winning goal seven minutes later.

Campbell grabbed a 1-0 lead when Kaleigh Backlund scored in the 27th minute, opening the scoring on Sunday afternoon.

The Seawolves leveled the game on a goal by Luciana Setteducate — her fourth goal of the season — in the 49th minute, assisted by Sammy Hannwacker. The two connected for the goal off a corner setpiece.

Stony Brook then busted up the 1-1 draw on Linn Beck’s 56th-minute goal, her fourth of the season. Gabrielle Cote assisted the goal. Beck’s goal proved to be the difference, coming a little less than seven minutes after Setteducate’s game-tying goal. Kerry Pearson nearly added another goal for Stony Brook, but Campbell was credited with a team save to keep the ball from the back of the net.

Campbell tried just two shots after Stony Brook went ahead in the match, with Nicolette Pasquarella saving the only attempt on target down the stretch. The Seawolves held off the Camels to close out the come-from-behind victory to end the road trip.

“I thought we played well today and it’s never easy to win an away game,” head coach Tobias Bischof said. “Unfortunately, we got scored on against the run of play in the first half. In the second half, the team reacted and did very well to score twice and come from behind to win.” 

The team returns home to face Monmouth on Oct. 3. Kickoff between the Seawolves and Hawks is set for 6 p.m. at LaValle Stadium with the contest streaming live on FloFC.

The Stony Brook University men’s soccer team played to a scoreless draw with the Northeastern Huskies on Sept. 27 at LaValle Stadium. The result brings the Seawolves’ overall record to 1-4-3 on the season.

Stony Brook started quick offensively, creating their first chance of the day in the opening five minutes of play. A shot from Jonas Bickus forced Northeastern’s Colby Hegarty to make an early save. The Huskies responded with a shot of their own in the 15th minute, Rushon Sandy to make one stop to keep the match level.

Opportunities were plentiful as Alex Fleury in the 31st minute had a brilliant shot that bypassed Hegarty, but the Northeastern defense was able to make the team save. Despite another pair of first half chances as Moses Bakabulindi and Trevor Harrison each fired on net, the match would remain scoreless heading into the second half.

Fleury would tally another shot to get things started in the final 45 minutes, while Bakabulindi followed behind with one of his own in the 82nd minute. Stony Brook controlled possession and tried to get ahead as Bickus and Harrison each had an opportunity in the final two minutes of play.

Neither side could generate a score in the match, sending both sides home with a point in the conference standings.

“We got the clean sheet and defended well, I thought we created some good chances. Disappointed though to not get three points out of the game. I thought both halves we were the better team, but we’ve got to do better in front of goal. I think we have the opportunity to create even more chances, but from a performance standpoint it was a good performance. We put ourselves in a position to win the game, but we’ve got to do more to get those three points,” stated head coach Ryan Anatol postgame.

Stony Brook women’s soccer earned its fourth consecutive clean sheet and victory, topping Charleston 3-0 to begin CAA play on Sept. 22 at LaValle Stadium.

The Seawolves improved to 6-2-1 with their fourth straight victory. Stony Brook has outscored the opposition 13-0 during its winning streak, which began back on September 9. Stony Brook continued its dominance at LaValle Stadium, improving to 4-0 at home this season.

Stony Brook took a 1-0 lead when Gabby Daniels scored her second goal of the season in the 30th minute, assisted by Emanuelly Ferreira on a set piece from the far corner. The Seawolves dominated much of the possession in the early going, making good on the constant pressure by scoring the opening goal of the match.

The Seawolves quickly added to their lead when Ferreira and Leah Rifas combined on a goal. Rifas’ throw-in led Ferreira perfectly, who patiently waited to sneak one past Charleston’s keeper to tally the first goal of her collegiate career.

Stony Brook padded the lead early in the second half on Linn Beck’s strike in the 50th minute. Luciana Setteducate and Gabrielle Cote assisted on the goal.

Charleston upped its tempo and pressure offensively late in the contest, finishing with a 9-6 advantage in second-half shots. Despite the nine shots and five corners in the second half, Nicolette Pasquarella was up to the task. Pasquarella made four of her five total saves over the final 45 minutes of play to earn her sixth win of the season and lead Stony Brook to its fourth straight clean sheet victory.

“I’m very happy, it was a great performance by the team. I truly believe that Charleston is one of the best offensive teams in the CAA, obviously that stats say that too. I thought we did a good job trying to minimize their good chances,” head coach Tobias Bischof noted postgame. “But more importantly we did what we wanted to do, which was create chances and score some goals.”

The team returns to the road to continue conference play at Elon on Sept. 26. The Seawolves and the Phoenix meet at 7 p.m. with the contest streaming live on FloFC.

Jayson Allen and Nick Capazzola recovered fumbles and Kris Caine had 1.0 TFL and a sack in the win. Jordan Jackson secured a team-high five solo tackles, totaling six tackles. Shamoun Duncan-Niusulu and Anthony Ferrelli added five tackles while AJ Roberts and Chayce Chalmers racked up four apiece.

The Stony Brook offense did a good job extending drives, converting on 57.1 percent of third-down attempts and finishing 12-for-21. The Seawolves were also successful on their lone fourth down conversion attempt. The Seawolves took care of business in the red zone, scoring three times on three trips inside Campbell’s 20-yard line.

“First and foremost, I’m proud of our guys for getting a tough win on the road against a really good team in Campbell,” said head coach Billy Cosh said. “We ran the ball well and controlled the game by running the ball today, which was awesome. Our defense stepped up in critical moments; they had some lapses, but they finished and played hard.”

Stony Brook put together an impressive comeback Sept. 14, highlighted by a six-yard rushing touchdown from Brandon Boria, to erase a 21-17 third-quarter deficit to take down Fordham in the Bronx, 27-21. 

The Seawolves were led offensively by freshman quarterback Malachi Marshall in the air and the runningback duo of Brandon Boria and Roland Dempster on the ground. Marshall tossed for 268 yards (18-for-36), while Boria finished 65 yards on the ground and his first career touchdown, while Dempster notched 51 yards and his fourth touchdown in the last two games.

The Seawolves kept Fordham under 150 yards on both the ground and through the air, allowing 125 passing and 132 rushing yards. The Seawolves hassled the Fordham passing attack all game long, piling up seven sacks and adding two interceptions.

“Defensively, I thought we were outstanding. [Loughridge] is a really good player, he’s a big-time back. It was a great job by the [defense] tackling and making big plays. Our defense kept us in the game. Fordham was a great quality opponent, give credit to them, they’re really well coached. It was a hard-fought battle, we found a way to win and I’m just happy for our players,” head coach Billy Cosh said.

The Stony Brook University men’s basketball team announced its 2024-25 schedule on Wednesday afternoon.

“Our non-conference schedule is tough with many road games, which we hope will have us ready for CAA play. It’s going to be a very exciting season of CAA hoops,” head coach Geno Ford said. “The conference will have many new faces with only two of the 15 all-conference players returning. I expect it to be a wild conference tournament once again.”

As previously announced, Stony Brook opens year six under Ford on the road at Marquette on November 4, as part of the Marquette Challenge. The MTE sees the Seawolves turn around and face Central Michigan (Nov. 7) and George Mason (Nov. 11) on the road before returning home for the home opener on November 16 against St. Joseph’s Long Island.

The Seawolves travel to Rider on December 14, then return home to face Marist on December 17. The Seawolves end the calendar year with a home matchup against Maine (December 21) and a road trip to Albany on December 29.

The conference slate begins with a road trip to Monmouth (Jan. 2), followed by three straight home contests (William & Mary, Jan. 4; Drexel, Jan. 9; Northeastern, Jan. 11). The Seawolves start a road swing at Delaware (Jan. 16) and end it with a trip to Towson on January 18 before returning to Long Island to host Campbell (Jan. 23) and North Carolina A&T (Jan. 25).

The Stony Brook University women’s soccer team defeated New Hampshire, 1-0, on Sept. 15. Kristina Garcia provided the game-winning goal in the 78th minute, propelling the team to its third straight victory.

The two sides played a scoreless first half, with Nicolette Pasquarella stopping the lone shot she faced in the opening 45 minutes. Linn Beck had an early shot on goal that was turned away. Later on, Garcia had a shot on goal that was stopped as well.

With the match still level to start the second half, Pasquarella made a pair of saves in the opening 10 minutes of second-half action. Reilly Rich and Aneta Sováková had shots that were off target or blocked and Luciana Setteducate’s attempt to break the ice was stopped in the 73rd minute.

Minutes later, it was Garcia and Sováková who teamed up to put Stony Brook on top, 1-0, in the late moments of the contest. Sováková fed a ball into the box on a corner set-piece that Garcia volleyed off a defender and into the back of the net. The goal was the first of Garcia’s collegiate career.

The Wildcats had one last chance to find an equalizer, but Pasquarella was up to the task and neutralized the threat. Pasquarella and Stony Brook closed out a third consecutive clean sheet to end the non-conference slate.

“I’m proud of the team. The girls were challenged with the three games in seven days, two of them away, but they got it done,” head coach Tobias Bischof said. “Three wins, three shutouts and 10 goals scored isn’t easy. UNH is a physical team with some very good players, but we handled it well. Now we are going to recover and get ready for conference play.”

The team returns home to host Charleston in the CAA opener on Sept. 22 at noon.
